Pick your place carefully. Leave options for sudden relocation. Sudden temp change of shadow can create pop up thunderstorms that can quickly ruin the event if you can't move quickly.
Do we even question that this erstwhile magical event will happen? It recently became harder to salute Science, because politics took over during the pan. But Science, in general, should still warrant our fealty. I have my bachelor's in science, so many of my questions (when we were at the mercy of the combo of politics/Science) went unanswered and were considered misinformation or disinformation. How long will it take before we can trust our doctors again?? I tried to say that getting a little bit of sunshine would help my body make its own Vitamin D, which would in turn help my immune system, which would most likely improve my health; when I combined this with getting vaccinated, I was shut down, demonetized. Think about it: I said do both. I DID NOT say get sunshine INSTEAD of getting vaxxed. I said doing both would probably be healthier, and that was enough to get me unceremoniously jettisoned. Now they're telling us that our sunshine will be shut down for a while. Do we believe them?
Sunshine is not going to "shut down" in our life time, Brother. The moon can get between the earth and the sun. It's just like your shadow. You block the sun from shining on part of the ground; that's what causes a shadow.
Vitamin D is good but of limited efficacy against viruses. India had the highest death toll, including parts where the locals get plenty of sunlight. Ten million, maybe more. Peru, Indonesia, Nigeria, Egypt, other tropical places suffered badly. Anyone "distrusting" doctors because of the pandemic has some internal psych issues to work through.

Cool! August 2017 from Missouri was my first and I got hooked! Like you, it’s in my backyard in Fort Worth but I’m not happy with 2 min 10 seconds. Going closer to the centerline in Dallas, Ennis, or Waxahachie.
make that money bro! Stock up on the cardboard eclipse glasses now while they are still available, then walk around at the viewing party selling them to people in the hours leading up to the eclipse. I saw one guy say he made $5000 dollars in 8 hours of selling glasses. He said he started at 10 dollars, and every hour close he went up 10 more dollars in price. He was flipping glasses he paid .50 cents for 60+ bucks per pair.
There are some theories out there about what may happen in the area of that X, where both eclipses crossed. Having to do with the New Madrid fault line.
1:49 We were just outside of Doniphan MO. That was the most amazing thing I’ve seen in my entire life and I’m 50 years old. I’d pay just about any sum of money to see that again. I feel bad for anyone who missed it
Congrats mate. I drove 700 miles on the day to Rochester but it was cloudy asf. Too bad we couldn’t see the Sun, but at least seeing the shadow of the Moon gliding over is really cool
Suggestions? I’ll be driving from southern Illinois back to St. Louis later that day. Should I just hang out in the area for two hours to let traffic thin?
@@DugrozReports not really any good suggestions. If I had it to do over again, I would have gotten a hotel or a campsite way in advance and just drove back the next day. We literally moved less than 60 miles in the first 3 hours.

However, I only get 2 min 10 seconds of totality, so going to relatives’ houses to watch near the centerline (they’re in Kerrville and Center Point). 😎☀️🌑☀️

I traveled down from Kansas City to the missouri arkansas border area. Weather was great hardly any clouds. I didn’t get to see the 2017 totality but I made a 4.5 hour drive for this one and it was worth it.

We're definitely anticipating crowds here in northeastern Ohio, getting very close to 4 minutes of totality. For those who have never experienced a total solar eclipse, I'll just say there's absolutely nothing like it.
@@CaptainHowdy-c3y Dusk isn't the same: - You don't get a circular rainbow around the sun as dusk approaches. - You don't have light on the horizon in all directions during dusk. - You don't have several minutes where the sun is a ring of fire.

Excellent animation! For anyone traveling by auto to see this, I recommend anticipating the snarled traffic on the way home. I lived in Central Illinois in 2017 and saw it down towards Chester. On 55 towards Litchfield it was a parking lot, but I was able to get off and take an alternate route. People were probably coming from as far north as Chicago.
@@DugrozReports I didn’t really run into problems until I got up past Collinsville. If you’re heading back to St. Louis I really don’t know if it will be that bad. If you cross at Chester you’ll have nice wide open Missouri highways. I’m going back up on the Illinois side because I’m seeing family. That’s just two lane roads so we’re going to chill a few places and let the traffic die down. Have fun!
Ayy fellow Central Illinois resident. With this eclipse there were a lot of cars with Wisconsin and Minnesota plates throughout the area and down into the path.
I'm going with a group to Evansville (~2h drive) to witness totality for the first. It's very special to me because this is also the day of my favorite teacher's birthday who has passed away.
Can you check this 7 towns with the name ninavah are in the path in North America. Also this event takes place the day after Divine Mercy Sunday. Thanks.
I live in a small town in northern New Hampshire right in the path of totality. I feel blessed that I get to experience this. I saw a partial eclipse (about 85%) in 2017 vacationing at Virginia Beach, which was super awesome (at least I thought so, I've been told I'm way too easily impressed sometimes), so this will be even better. The only downside is I work at a hotel/lodge and there are going to be a lot of guests and it'll be stressful, I may have to deal with irate/angry guests. Despite that, I'm super looking forward to seeing an eclipse in person.
@@robertdimartino5794 I'm hoping for a clear sky that day. If it's cloudy and you're staying at where I work, you're going to see a sad-looking woman at the front desk with fogged up sunglasses (from crying), I'll be really upset if yet another astronomical event gets rained out.

How does it happen that some towns on this map are so horribly misplaced? Why wouldn't you just use a real map vs. plotting the towns incorrectly yourself? For example, Oxford, OH is NW of Hamilton, not SW. Eaton, OH is due west of downtown Dayton, not SSW of it.
🌞1999 I survived the total eclipse outdoor in Bavaria, Germany. 🌑It rained a lot until it got dark, then the rain stopped, complete silence, no birds nor dogs... 🌧There was a "☯" in the epicenter in the nimbostratus above, ~2km S of me. ☔Rain continued with the returning light. 🛗Also interesting was a weak "elevator-effect" in the legs, that You feel, when an elevator stops up- or downwards.
I might make it to Uvalde Tx this map shows much of eclipse being there dead center for a good long time of four minutes lol 😂 . There are several places I could go including Boerne , Kerrville or Fredericksburg Tx
the 2017 eclipse the closest hotel I could book was with 99% coverage. Had no problem driving to the center of totality in the morning and I didn't even get up that early. The hard part was when everyone left at once. I couldn't leave Tennesse! Damn bridges are choak points in traffic.
I'm from Hendricks County Indiana and we are due for a 3-minute 30-second totality.. if I drive about an hour south, I will pick up about 37 seconds of totality. I think I'm going to go ahead and stay home.
@@chelsearunyan yes, Bburg will be there, although the farther south you can go, the better. I will be in Avon that monday, so I'm going to get a pretty good slice. If you can make it to the South side, you will get a better view, although your only picking up a few seconds
It's coming right to me and I pray the sky will be clear that day. Thank you for posting this very informative video. Very interesting to know that the speed of the moon's shadow increases as it heads more north, so the totality becomes less. So it's best to be in Mexico for this one.
Those of us in Southern Illinois are dead center again. Just like 2017. I can't believe the odds. I live in Herrin, IL. 62948 The crowds will be crazy.
I'm flying in from Europe and will be heading for Texas to experience this eclipse. The previous totality was ruined by rain back in 1998. Really exited about the eclipse
In 1027, a group of 145(!) of us were in the small city of Cross Plains, TN, just north of Nashville, just for the eclipse event. It was perfect for watching the eclipse at 100% totality. Next year, in April, some of us are planning to go to Indianapolis. Can't wait!!!
The 2017 event was beautiful here in Indianapolis...really looking forward to April. hope you have plans made..we are a big convention city, lots of hotels..but this has probably been on the books for a while here...Have the best visit..be safe and well.
nova Scotia won't see totality. Only the tippy north part of it will, unfortunately. Major cities like Halifax and Sydney will miss out, so I highly suggest traveling to New Brunswick instead!! Totality will cut right through there, and the experience under the shadow will be so much different!
I'm planning on being on top of Enchanted Rock which is almost dead center. I read San Antonio is expecting over a million people traveling there just for the eclipse. That sounds hard to believe. If so, the Hill Country is going to be jam packed. It might be standing room only on top of Enchanted Rock!
Enchanted rock's parking lot isn't very big and they limit entry. I'm not sure if they expanded the capacity for this event but enchanted rock would be a great place for it if you have a reservation
my backyard, 15 min southwest of Indianapolis...caint wait.. Indy will probably have a huge crowd also, they will probably open the track. ..we get that from time to time🏁...
I live in the DFW, and I'm stoked that the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is coming! The only time the total eclipse reaches my area! :D Seen in 1:13 of the video. Where I live, the eclipse will last for like 2.5 minutes. Most epic moment of my life not involving food or vacation is coming.
I’m on the FW/Arlington boarder and kind of wished I’d had gone closer to the center of the path. Still, watching it from the comfort of my own back yard with all the booze and my own restroom was the best ever! Such a surreal experience that I’ll never forget if I don’t happen to catch another. Hopefully my Wife, kids (who knows maybe even some grand kids too) and I will be around in 2045 for the OKC one. Definitely going to try and catch that one God willing!
It's all or nothing. 99.9% is simply a partial eclipse and you'll miss all the things that totality brings. You won't be able to look at the sun without eye protection. Even being in the center of the path doesn't mean a thing if it's really cloudy. The path of totality only offers about a 40% chance of clear skies in the U.S at this time of year. Mazatlan, Mexico gives you a 75% chance of blue skies. The further North you go, the worse it gets. Texas is a pretty good bet, but it's still weather dependent. Know how to read weather maps and be ready to drive.
I live in Cleburne TX totality 1:40-1:43 unfortunately it’s supposed to also be severe weather tornados hail the whole spectrum after the eclipse hoping to see it but it might be cloudy. Yes a total Solar Eclipse can enhance severe Weather in certain conditions
Distance. The further you are from something, the smaller the shadow gets. Plus, how are you going to call shenanigans when this is has all been proven as fact?
@@spacesim942 I suggest you take a basketball out in your yard on a sunny day and try to make a Shadow smaller than the basketball. You say that it is proven, that should be a real easy proof.
@@westhuizenarchives2614 I believe it was here in Wisconsin we were in the sunlight. What should a well been within the shadow of the Moon, if the moon is truly 2000 miles acrossed.
Looks like your state doesn't get much totality. I would highly suggest either going to the south eastern border of the state or, if you can, move into Coahuila or Durango to make more time under the shadow.

Pick your place carefully. Leave options for sudden relocation. Sudden temp change of shadow can create pop up thunderstorms that can quickly ruin the event if you can't move quickly.
US south in April = Cloud cover and likely thunderstorms.
You left out all the clouds that are going to ruin peoples’ plans.

Going to Niagara Falls to see it. Praying for sunny weather
Western New York is closed that week...
@@glasstuna that sucks. Good thing I'm going to Canada then.
@@glasstunahow does western NY close down for a week?
@@TheAntbandit clouds as it turned out.
Fascinating how oblong it becomes…
Unfortunately it’s just barely gonna miss me, but I’ll still get to see somethinginteresting!
Travel the distance.
Witnessing totality is totally different unique and completely worth it.
I noticed that too. As the earth curves away from the sun, the shadow the moon projects grows longer. Super cool!
please travel to the totality strip! i cant tell you how much of a difference it'll make. one will be just, 'cool', and the other will be 'wow!!'
the 2017 eclipse the closest hotel I could book was with 99% coverage. Had no problem driving to the center of totality in the morning and I didn't even get up that early. The hard part was when everyone left at once. I couldn't leave Tennesse! Damn bridges are choak points in traffic.
@@PrincePugsJr Travel to Durango, México 🇲🇽, That place is the epicenter and totality of the eclipse.
At 1,600MPH we coulda put one of our faster jets up there to race that shadow across the path.
Ill be on the shores of lake erie in my home state Ohio
Cleveland OH. Can't wait!
I live in New York, also going there to watch the eclipse and I can only pray that it's a clear day
I'm from Hendricks County Indiana and we are due for a 3-minute 30-second totality.. if I drive about an hour south, I will pick up about 37 seconds of totality. I think I'm going to go ahead and stay home.
I’m also from Hendricks county Indiana. I’m hoping🙏 to that Brownsburg will be in is path for this.
@@chelsearunyan yes, Bburg will be there, although the farther south you can go, the better. I will be in Avon that monday, so I'm going to get a pretty good slice. If you can make it to the South side, you will get a better view, although your only picking up a few seconds
my first total eclipse.
It's coming right to me and I pray the sky will be clear that day. Thank you for posting this very informative video. Very interesting to know that the speed of the moon's shadow increases as it heads more north, so the totality becomes less. So it's best to be in Mexico for this one.
Trump plans to get a good long look at the eclipse. He says staring at the sun helps give him that orange glow on his face.
yes yes...im in indianapolis...Ive been glad to have seen several.🌘.looking forward to this!
I live in Muncie and the hotels rooms are going for 3-4 times the average price and most hotels are sold out for April 7 and 8.
I'm coming to your city suburbs to check it out!
I’m from Brownsburg, Indiana not far from Indianapolis. Hopefully 🙏 I’ll be able to see this from there.
Stare at the sun-simulator!
Those of us in Southern Illinois are dead center again. Just like 2017. I can't believe the odds.
I live in Herrin, IL. 62948
The crowds will be crazy.
It’s not coincidence
wow, this eclipse, you are literally on the centerline.
After watching berserk i no l Ionger view eclipses as a good thing anymore...
I'm flying in from Europe and will be heading for Texas to experience this eclipse.
The previous totality was ruined by rain back in 1998.
Really exited about the eclipse
Glad those clouds held off here in Ft. Worth. Hope they did too wherever you were in Tx.
I love how it passes over Muncie, Indiana like a UFO shadow…. Straight out of that scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Hey that's Ohio. That's a quarter!
@@throughthoroughthought8064
Yess!!!
In 1027, a group of 145(!) of us were in the small city of Cross Plains, TN, just north of Nashville, just for the eclipse event. It was perfect for watching the eclipse at 100% totality. Next year, in April, some of us are planning to go to Indianapolis. Can't wait!!!
Did you and your group go to the Battle of Hastings in 1066 as well?
The 2017 event was beautiful here in Indianapolis...really looking forward to April. hope you have plans made..we are a big convention city, lots of hotels..but this has probably been on the books for a while here...Have the best visit..be safe and well.
must be nice to be a time traveler! 🕓🚀🕢
145 factorial? I don't believe there are even close to that many people on the entire planet!
@@johnroby6524r/unexpectedfactorial
Outstanding video!
I visited a friend in Omaha in 2017, but we were just outside the path of totality. This year, it's in my own backyard in Baldwinsville, NY.
its actually looking like possible sun in new york and clouds down south, opposite of what is usual, we might get lucky !
I had a front row seat in Cleveland OH
Several cities named Ninevah, meaning "repent"
yep wonder y they planned it like dat.
There's also a couple places called Salem, I passed near one today.
I am heading over to Buffalo, New York to see the solar eclipse and maybe even rapture.
😂 Bring lots of ammo
Once we transition, we'll see better wonders of the universe. Enjoy the eclipse in Nova Scotia in case your flying out there.
nova Scotia won't see totality. Only the tippy north part of it will, unfortunately. Major cities like Halifax and Sydney will miss out, so I highly suggest traveling to New Brunswick instead!! Totality will cut right through there, and the experience under the shadow will be so much different!
I'm planning on being on top of Enchanted Rock which is almost dead center. I read San Antonio is expecting over a million people traveling there just for the eclipse. That sounds hard to believe. If so, the Hill Country is going to be jam packed. It might be standing room only on top of Enchanted Rock!
Enchanted rock's parking lot isn't very big and they limit entry. I'm not sure if they expanded the capacity for this event but enchanted rock would be a great place for it if you have a reservation
my backyard, 15 min southwest of Indianapolis...caint wait.. Indy will probably have a huge crowd also, they will probably open the track. ..we get that from time to time🏁...
That’s where I plan on being. Flying from Florida
exactly what i was looking for
I live in the DFW, and I'm stoked that the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is coming! The only time the total eclipse reaches my area! :D
Seen in 1:13 of the video.
Where I live, the eclipse will last for like 2.5 minutes. Most epic moment of my life not involving food or vacation is coming.
I’m in the same area (Arlington).
@@kaymuldoon3575 Ooh nice. Except I live north of Arlington.
I’m on the FW/Arlington boarder and kind of wished I’d had gone closer to the center of the path. Still, watching it from the comfort of my own back yard with all the booze and my own restroom was the best ever! Such a surreal experience that I’ll never forget if I don’t happen to catch another. Hopefully my Wife, kids (who knows maybe even some grand kids too) and I will be around in 2045 for the OKC one. Definitely going to try and catch that one God willing!

Sooo we gonna ignore moons shadow breaking the sound barrier tons of times?
There is no air to drag in space so no sound barrier
@@InsertHandleHere968 🤓👆
I noticed that but figured it indicated the speed in the video, not the "reality" to come.
The sound barrier is slow compared to how fast the Earth, Moon, and Sun move at..
The moon's shadow isn't a physical object, what does it matter if it breaks the sound barrier?
Awesome simulation. I’ll be in Arizona so won’t get near totality. But the view should still be cool.
It's all or nothing. 99.9% is simply a partial eclipse and you'll miss all the things that totality brings. You won't be able to look at the sun without eye protection. Even being in the center of the path doesn't mean a thing if it's really cloudy. The path of totality only offers about a 40% chance of clear skies in the U.S at this time of year. Mazatlan, Mexico gives you a 75% chance of blue skies. The further North you go, the worse it gets. Texas is a pretty good bet, but it's still weather dependent. Know how to read weather maps and be ready to drive.
Shufflin off to Buffalo.
I live in Cleburne TX totality 1:40-1:43 unfortunately it’s supposed to also be severe weather tornados hail the whole spectrum after the eclipse hoping to see it but it might be cloudy. Yes a total Solar Eclipse can enhance severe Weather in certain conditions
How can a 2000 mile across sized object leave a shadow that is only 125 miles across? I'm calling shenanigans.
Distance
Distance. The further you are from something, the smaller the shadow gets. Plus, how are you going to call shenanigans when this is has all been proven as fact?
@@spacesim942 I suggest you take a basketball out in your yard on a sunny day and try to make a Shadow smaller than the basketball. You say that it is proven, that should be a real easy proof.
That's not the entire shadow that's the area of totality where the moon covers the sun completely.
@@westhuizenarchives2614 I believe it was here in Wisconsin we were in the sunlight. What should a well been within the shadow of the Moon, if the moon is truly 2000 miles acrossed.
Kinda like my Mother-in-law's shadow when she comes into town.🙃 Love you Mom!!
Hahahahahaha.
Hey-o!
I live in chihuahua 🥳
Looks like your state doesn't get much totality. I would highly suggest either going to the south eastern border of the state or, if you can, move into Coahuila or Durango to make more time under the shadow.
Indianapolis. I've been waiting for this eclipse since I was a teenager. I'm 58 now😋.
wow.
I’ve seen two eclipses in my life one when I was in kindergarten one in 2017 neither was a total eclipse this one will go right over my house in NE Ohio
Prepare to have your mind blown away. It's hypnotic and induces euphoria.
Total cosmic bliss
@@SUGAR_XYLER I can’t wait I took a vacation day for it as soon as my vacation became available. I’ll drive to clear sky’s if I need.
Cleaveland that’s huge! A major city with a perfect view
SEE: X Across America 2017 - 2024 A sign of the judgment on America. Genesis 15:13 (KJV)
The cameraman is chasing the eclipse
Excellent video! Thank you.
The center of the path of totality crosses right over our town. We rescheduled a Caribbean cruise so that we wouldn’t miss it.
Aeraging Mach 3 speed..took around 6 hours crossing North American continent. AMAZING!
Add the time zone changes
My grandpa K lives where it’ll be a full eclipse! Where visiting him to see it! I’m so excited
Almost Home Church! Netchatef!👋😊❤❤❤
in Wenonah IL now, at Freedom Indiana during eclipse...right in the Center
I’d give anything, even my heart, to see a solar eclipse in Mexico someday…
How mush you want por the heart? $$?
It's going right over my city in Ontario Canada 😁 we just have to step outside and enjoy
I can’t wait to go to Cleveland to watch!
I'm country mexico
What's you country?
